[Doubleblind study with the novel antidepressant viloxazine versus imipramine in 50 in-patients (author's transl)]. 1976

L Floru, and G Czarny, and J Tegeler

In this double-blind study on 50 depressive patients viloxazine in dosages between 150-300 mg/die, showed to be a very active and well tolerated thymoleptic substance. Its profile of activity seems similar to that of imipramine. The differences in favour of viloxazine were: a more rapid onset of its effect, a more balanced stimulation of energetical level versus clearing up to depressed mood, evident better results in patients aged over 50, fewer drop-outs on account of complications (especially confusional states or psychotic symptom provocations) and fewer side-effects such as vegetative disfunction, vertigo, and weight increase. More initial fatigue reactions, slight sleep disturbances and 3 hypertensive transient reactions must be emphasized on the side of viloxazine.

D000928 Antidepressive Agents Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.
